Answer 1

Answer:

x =12

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 5^2 = 13^2

x^2 +25 =169

Subtract 25 from each side

x^2 +25-25=169-25

x^2 = 144

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

13 times 5 = 56

then divide 56 by 2

=12

x^2 +25 =169

Subtract 25 from each side

x^2 +25-25=169-25

x^2 = 144

x = 12

hope this helps :)
